CVTSE Holds Press Conference at State Capitol

Montpelier, Vt., — The Coalition for Vermont Student Equity (CVTSE) today held a press conference to highlight how Vermont is currently failing its moral and constitutional obligations to ensure that all children in Vermont, regardless of where they live, have access to equitable educational opportunities. 

State Rep. Emilie Kornheiser Reminds Us: Correcting the Weights is good for “all of us.”

Thank you, Representative Emilie Kornheiser, for highlighting how critical it is that we continue to strive for educational equity in VT. CVTSE believes that the time to right this wrong and correct the weights is long overdue.

Have you emailed the Task Force yet?

Have you emailed the Pupil Weighting Task Force yet? The legislature must trust VT’s low-income and diverse districts to make the best spending decisions for their schools. Wealthy districts are already afforded this trust.

PLEASE SIGN: Rights & Democracy Petitions for “education funding equity”

Please sign on to this letter calling for the task force in charge to correct the pupil weighting formula used to distribute education funds to rural and low-income school districts in Vermont, rather than adopting categorical aid!

Trust districts to make the right spending decisions

lawmakers need to trust low income, rural and diverse school districts to make the right spending decisions for our schools.
